Directions to Lot
Detailed Directions from Albuquerque (Approximately 220 Miles, 3.5 Hours)
Getting to your property from New Mexico's largest city is straightforward, following major highways most of the way:
Step 1: Departing Albuquerque
Begin your journey in Albuquerque and head south. From anywhere in the Albuquerque metro area, make your way to Interstate 25 South (I-25 S). This is the main north-south corridor through New Mexico and will be your primary route for the first leg of your journey.
Step 2: Interstate 25 South to Exit 115
Travel south on I-25 for approximately 140 miles, passing through several notable New Mexico communities along the way. You'll drive through or near Socorro, a historic mining town, and continue southward through the open high desert landscape. Stay on I-25 South until you reach Exit 115 for Hatch/Deming/NM-26 West.
As you approach Exit 115, you'll notice signs for Hatch (famous for its green chile) and Deming. Take this exit and prepare to head west.
Step 3: New Mexico Highway 26 West
After exiting I-25, turn right (west) onto New Mexico Highway 26 (NM-26 West). This well-maintained state highway will carry you westward for approximately 72 miles directly toward Deming.
NM-26 travels through quintessential New Mexico high desert terrain, with expansive views of distant mountain ranges, classic desert vegetation, and wide-open skies. This is a beautiful drive that truly captures the essence of southwestern landscapes. The road is generally straight with good visibility and moderate traffic.
Step 4: Arriving in Deming
After approximately 72 miles on NM-26 West, you'll arrive in Deming, Luna County's seat and the closest significant town to your property. Deming sits at the intersection of several important highways and serves as a regional hub for southwestern New Mexico.
Step 5: From Deming to Your Property
Once in Deming, you can use your GPS coordinates (32.1726, -107.4756) to navigate to your specific property location. The property is situated in the greater Deming area, accessible via local roads from the main highway.
Input the GPS coordinates into your smartphone or GPS device:

The roads near your property are typical of rural Luna County - some are maintained county roads, while others may be unpaved or graded dirt roads.

Step 1: Departing El Paso
From El Paso, Texas, head north toward the New Mexico state line. Depending on where you're starting in El Paso, make your way to Interstate 10 West (I-10 W). I-10 is the major east-west interstate that runs through El Paso and continues westward through southern New Mexico.
Step 2: Interstate 10 West Through Southern New Mexico
Travel west on I-10 for approximately 60 miles. You'll cross from Texas into New Mexico shortly after leaving El Paso, passing through Las Cruces, New Mexico's second-largest city. Continue west on I-10 beyond Las Cruces.
The drive along I-10 through southern New Mexico showcases dramatic desert mountain scenery, with the rugged peaks of the Organ Mountains visible to the east and expansive desert valleys stretching in all directions. This is classic Chihuahuan Desert landscape.
Step 3: Exit 82A for Deming
Continue on I-10 West until you reach Exit 82A, which is clearly marked for Deming/NM-11 North. This exit will take you off the interstate and toward Deming.
